When the French called for an anti-terror parade of world
leaders following the Paris terror attacks one of the first to accept was
Israel’s Prime Minister.

According to the rumor mill, Hollande tried to dissuade
Benjamin Netanyahu from participating in the rally, but Bibi stuck to his guns
determined to show the world that Israel, under constant threat from terrorism,
is defiantly linked, in fact leads, the war against terror.

For Israel, it was
the right thing to do.

Hollande not accustomed to snubs, responded. There was a price to pay for Israel’s Prime
Minister defying the French President. Hollande invited to this anti-terror
event Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of a Palestinian less-than-state regime with
decades of bloody terror atrocities on its hands and united in a unity
government with Hamas, an officially designated terrorist organization.

For
Israel, that was the morally wrong to do.

Hollande did join Netanyahu in attending the synagogue
ceremony in memory of the murdered French Jews. But he beat a hasty retreat before Bibi told the Jewish audience to get
the hell out of there.

In face of the rising European anti-Semitism, it was
morally the right thing for Israel’s leader to do.

Switch to Washington. Benjamin
Netanyahu received the invitation to address Congress from House Speaker, John
Boehner, shortly after President Obama had warned Congress in his State of Union
Address that he would veto any move they may make to strengthen sanctions against
Iran in pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

Israel had released a video
purporting to show an undisclosed Iranian intercontinental ballistic missile
site, and Netanyahu was concerned that the Obama Administration was on its way
to signing an agreement with Iran while Israel was embroiled in elections. So
he accepted Boehner’s invitation.

Once again, it was the right thing for the
Israeli leader to do.

But a furious Obama White House threatened
“there would be a price” to pay for Bibi’s visit to Washington.

Now we discover what that price is.

The Obama presidential election team has set up camp in Tel Aviv with the
mission to defeat Netanyahu in our upcoming election.

The “Anyone but Bibi”
mission is headed by Jeremy Bird, Obama’s National Field Director in his successful presidential campaigns.

Under Bird, a group called “Victory
15” has been set up. It has recruited the young activists from Israel’s
2013 social protest movement and will man a massive social network and personal
contact campaign to defeat Bibi. V15 is financed by an NGO called “One
Voice” whose motto is to be “the voice of mainstream Israelis and
Palestinians.” Research finds that One Voice is funded by John
Kerry’s State Department.

In its press release, V15 calls
itself “non partisan” which is clearly a lie. Its aim is solely to
defeat Bibi,

Can we really call that “non partisan”?

In its 2014 annual
report is describes its actions as “promoting popular
resistance, state-building, and the Arab Peace Initiative, while advocating for
an end to the conflict and a two-state solution along the 1967 borders.”

Does Israel really need this
outsider that advocates “popular resistance” to impose the Arab Peace
Initiative on to Israel? There is grave
danger in the intent of this American interference into our political system.

It is no coincidence that the
headquarters of the V15 campaign is right next door to the Tel Aviv offices of One
Voice.

One Voice was
formed in 2003, its inaugural board of advisers included Gary Gladstein who
used to be the chief operations officer of Soros Fund Management. As in George
Soros.

The major consulting firm working
on the Israeli elections is “270 Strategies” which is also headed by
Bird. This company operates in elections on the principle of grassroots community
organization, dividing the countries into local zones and working them
incessantly and efficiently. It was the tactics that drove Obama into the White
House in 2008 and kept him there in 2012.

According to World Net Daily,270 Strategies has a team of 45 in Israel; sixteen of them are former
Obama staffers who have been parachuted into Tel Aviv to lead the local workers
with their experience.

One of the top men is Mitch
Steward, a 270 Strategies founding partner who helped the Obama campaign
build what the U.K. Guardian newspaper called “a historic ground
operation that will provide the model for political campaigns in America and
around the world for years to come.”

Obama’s excuse for not meeting with
Netanyahu in Washington was that he couldn't be seen interfering in the Israeli
election process. But the White House and the State Department is now exposed
as seriously interfering in Israeli politics with the Obama team, financed by
the Obama Administration, working to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu and his party in
Israel’s upcoming election.

In Congress, Netanyahu will receive
more standing ovations than Obama received when he addressed Congress. In
Israel, the big question is will he receive more votes in our election than any
other party. Or will he pay the political price for defying Obama?

Whatever the result, this is a
major attack by America on our electoral system and a further deterioration in
America’s attachment to Israel.

If Obama’s efforts help defeat Netanyahu
another question to be asked is, can Israel survive the damage of an Obama
presidency?
